Some Annual Plants Can Have a Second Life.

by Carol S

I selected a few too bring in for the winter. I placed 2 on the window sill and and 3 in the garage by the door. The more I save the less I have to spend for spring 2014.

Cuttings of purple wandering Jew that will root and take up yet another place in my gardens.

Gerber looks bad here but there is a bud sprouting, a sign there is hope.

This citranella plant need water - but I just checed on it in the Gargage that is about fourty degrees & it looks happier than it did all summer on the porch - Go figure.

This Coleous was fine but it kept going to seed, then it caught a blast of frosty air.

It shed all its large leaves and I brought it in yesterday.

My plant had grown to almost five feet tall, and got frost bit. I cut off all the branches to about 4 inches tall. All of the cutoff, I covered with mulch.(Grass clippings turning into dirt) Everything that I cut off, sprouted and have oodles of plants that are at least 2 feet tall. I have given away clippings and still have plenty. They sprouted off of every node that a leaf would have been.
